The Golden Years Society operates a friendly, supportive space for seniors to gather, socialize and participate in a variety of activities that enhance quality of life. We believe that every person has value and the right to be comfortable, safe and healthy.

 

We are a registered non-profit organization that has been active in Fort McMurray for 47 years.

The Society is run by a committed group of volunteers that plan and host monthly activities and special events and who fundraise to cover the cost of the programs and services we offer. 

 

Over the past five years and in response to pandemic isolation, our facility has experienced a significant increase in utilization as physical activity and socialization has become a priority for seniors in enhancing mental and physical health. As such, we offer diverse weekly activities to inspire and engage.

 

Increased utilization and participation, combined with increase in cost of living/goods/services has increased our expenses unproportionally and our ability to support our entire senior membership is at risk.
